nrhp # 86000522- The South School of Torrington, Connecticut is a Beaux Arts architecture building from 1915, designed by Wilson Potter. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It's significant as a well-preserved example of the work of Wilson Potter, a New York City-based designer of schools throughout the Northeastern U.S.[2] The building has been renovated for use as residential apartments. In 2010, a sign describes it as "South School Garden View Apartments". from Wikipedia

nrhp # 84001098- The Warner Theatre was built as a first-run movie palace by Warner Bros. Studios. This elaborate art-deco building was designed by nationally renowned architect Thomas W. Lamb. The opening was a state wide event attended by then-Governor Wilbur Cross and many other dignitaries. Seating 1,704 patrons, the Warner was a stunning example of state-of-the-art technology and lush, elegant surroundings. In the 1960s Warner Brothers sold the Warner Theatre to a private owner who continued to show movies until the late 1970s. By the early 1980s the theatre was closed and slated for demolition when a group of local citizens banded together and formed what is now known as the Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts. This non-profit group worked passionately to save the landmark from destruction. After a successful grass-roots campaign, the association purchased the theatre and re-opened it on May 22, 1983. The theatre is in operation year-round with more than 80,000 patrons passing through its doors each year. It provides a dynamic art-in-education program that has reached thousands of young people from throughout the region. It features a community theatre program that is supported by more than 400 volunteers—from actors to carpenters to ushers. It has presented some of the world's finest performers, from the Vienna Boys Choir to Anne Murray, and from George Carlin to the Washington Ballet. The Warner's dedicated Board of Directors represents a unique cross-section of business, education, government, and the arts, providing strong and visionary leadership for this important institution. from Wikipedia

While this Super Stop & Shop on High St. dates back to 1990, this plaza it struck me as an unusual 80s timewarp with all the tanish brown tones, which the chain reflected in its store designs in the late 80s. This location along with many stores as of late has been remodeled; dropped the "Super" and repainted with the chain's current (2010) logo. Here's what it looked like, clinging to the past in March 2007.

Dairy Queen along Main Street in Torrington has been here since 1950 and is one of more oddball ones that echoes the 1970's variation of the barn-style that begin a decade earlier. This location has an odd sign held in place with chains, and once restaurant space since rented out. In 2017, the signs were replaced and updated.
